- Frame made of 7020 aluminium, which is stronger, lighter and has better damping properties than the popular 6061T6 alloy.
- Our city frames are made by hand in Poland, Gliwice. They go through extensive tests in the factories and have already survived many thousands of kilometres covered in European cities and on cycling tours. The entire design, construction and painting of the frames are also local processes.
Remember! At Loca Bikes, our bikes are always made to order. If you would like to change the paintwork or have any special requests concerning the configuration, let us know!
The technical details of individual parts and information on frame geometry can be found below.
The price is for a bike matching the specification below. The configuration shown in photos may be different

A light and very solidly made basket from the German company KLICKfix, made of a fine metal mesh. It is the basket that we use most often on our city bikes because of its build quality, it looks great, and it is simply clicked into place.

Hexlox is a German, innovative system that secures all the bolts on a bike. How does it work? Fabulously simple and super effective - you just need to put a Hexlox inside the bolt head, which can then only be pulled out with a small, unique key.
Having such protection practically prevents the theft of wheels, saddle with a seatpost, or crankset. Our team has checked this solution out, and in our opinion, it works really well. It has also been tried and tested by such magazines as road.cc or GCN.
You can secure any bolt on your bike, but in our opinion, it makes the most sense to secure the seatpost, saddle and wheels because these components are worth a lot and can be stolen very quickly.
On this page, we offer just the set that is tailored to the type of bike you are interested in from us - single speed, gravel, single speed commuter, or 8-speed male/female city bikes.
The set contains 2 unique keys, 1 Hexlox to secure the bolt in the seatpost clamp, 1 Hexlox to secure the saddle mounting bolt on the seatpost, and the appropriate nuts/skewer for the front and rear wheel with matching Hexloxes.
If you are interested in securing only the wheels, seatpost and saddle, or you only want to focus on the stem or crankset, let us know. We will prepare a dedicated offer for you. To answer some common questions here: just securing the seatpost and the saddle costs 33€, and the wheels themselves cost 59€.
We highly recommend the Fendor Bendor folding fenders from Ass Saver. We have been using them ourselves for several years, and we are very satisfied.
Technical details:
- very quick and easy installation/removal
- because of its low position above the wheel and its considerable length, this fender completely prevents splashing from the rear wheel
- one of the few fenders that just looks good
- fits in your pocket when folded

Geometry
The geometry of Loca Bikes city frames closely resembles our gravels. The wider wheelbase and modified rear triangle allow the fitting of belt drive and gear hub, making our city bikes highly versatile and allowing you to move around the city efficiently in all weather conditions. The balance between stability and responsive handling, will allow you to take the bike to less traveled paths and use it as a gravel bike.
